The Prayer of a Patriot
Adrian Rogers
Love Worth Finding

Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause Thine anger toward us to cease. Wilt Thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt Thou draw out Thine anger to all generations? Wilt Thou not revive us again: that Thy people may rejoice in Thee?" ~~ Psalm 85:4-6

A Plea for Revival
In Psalm 85, we read the prayer of a true patriot. He watched his nation go from disobedience to degradation to dissolution. And because he loves his land, he's praying for revival.

America, too, is on a collision course with God's judgment, and I am greatly alarmed! As in that day, today the prayer of a patriot needs to be, "Wilt Thou not revive us again ...?"

Now to revive means to bring back to a former state. Never has a nation had a better start than America. God has blessed and favored America. But America needs a spiritual revival - an earth-shaking, mountain-moving, devil-defying, sin-killing, soul-saving revival.
